Good ole GPS! One of my wife's uncles programmed his GPS on a trip to see us a few years back, but he kept being directed down narrow, off the beaten path backroads. He eventually realized the GPS had selected "bike trails" to follow.

I remember watching Wild World of Sports for what seemed like hours of pre-stunt hype only to thoroughly disappointed at Knieval's failure. I have mapped out a two-week loop from/to Boise that includes a night in Twin Falls. It has some logistical issues (some long days and food scarcity) so I have been hesitant to do it. I need to HTFU and go for it.

Beautiful. We moved up here in '61 and I'm very glad we did. Kinda raised on homestead...2 story log cabin with a barrel wood stove, no plumbing, and hauling water from artesian well, but what a life it was.
